Deng Ming trudged through the snow.
Press the pause button all over the country, and the main road has been cleaned. It seems that there has not been much change. But the roads in the remote countryside are full of snow, and it''s almost knee deep.
The car can''t drive at all. Even if it can, it doesn''t dare to drive. Who knows where the road is and where the pit is under the flat road.
He is going to Yaojia village to visit the family members of a village cadre.
Yesterday, a 34 year old village cadre was on a vigil in the wind and snow. He had a sudden myocardial infarction. The rescue was ineffective and died in the front line.
After hearing the news, Deng Ming was very sad. After arranging today''s work, he drove to a remote village to visit the families of the village cadres who had died.
This is a war, a real war.
Sacrificing comrades are on the front line. There are no cowards. The family must be taken care of. Deng Ming''s philosophy is simple. He doesn''t like those people who have a big belly and only talk empty words.
Trekking in the snow, but no one complained. Deng Ming and Shi Zhonghua marched silently, as if they were back to the era of Linhai snow field.
The cold wind brings up the snow. If it''s cold, it also affects the line of sight. Deng Ming was even afraid that he and Shi Zhonghua were lost in the wind and snow.
I don''t know how long I walked and took two turns. Deng Ming saw his footprints in the wind and snow, which made him breathe.
I''m afraid I''m going the wrong way.
The village is not big. Looking around in the wilderness, you can see piles of straw bales.
The village has been surrounded by barbed wire. Once countless paths could enter the village. Now there is only one main road left.
The people who closed the village seemed to be afraid of problems. The barbed wire was surrounded by three floors and marked with luminous tape to avoid accidental injury. Red cloth hung on the barbed wire with slogans printed on it.
The whole province mobilized and the whole people took action to focus on winning the hard battle of epidemic prevention and control.
take on the challenge in solidarity
Immortals should also wear masks. The epidemic situation is not a joke.
Some serious or funny slogans were blaring in the cold wind, as if the comrade who had left was telling Deng Ming that his work was in place.
Deng Ming knew how hard it would take to complete these tasks in a cold day. He stared at the slogan and remained silent for a few seconds.
The work of the village is well done, which can be seen at a glance.
"Mr. Deng, let''s go," Shi Zhonghua whispered.
"Yes."
They came to the only entrance and exit in front of the village, which was completely blocked. The high snowdrift, let alone people, even the fiercest wolf dog in the village couldn''t get through.
"Who are you?" a voice came from afar.
"Is it Yaojia village?" Shi Zhonghua asked.
"Yes, you go back quickly. Don''t go to relatives. We have closed the village." the man said, "there are no special circumstances. We are not allowed to go in and out."
Shi Zhonghua took a few quick steps. Unexpectedly, he slipped and fell in the snow.
Deng Ming pulled up Shi Zhonghua, "Mayor Deng, the road is too slippery. Be careful."
"It''s all right," Deng Ming said in a deep voice.
In the wind and snow, his voice was intermittent and could not be heard clearly.
Shi Zhonghua didn''t have time to pat the snow on his body. He walked cautiously and quickly to the door of the village.
"The one behind is Deng Mingdeng, head of the new development area. Let''s express our condolences to Comrade Han Limin''s family."
Speaking of Han Limin, the man opposite was stunned.
He wore a thick dog skin hat, a thick scarf over his face and ice beads on it. There are ice beads on his eyelashes. Shi Zhonghua can''t see his expression and eyes clearly.
"District chief Deng? District chief Deng Mingdeng of the new development area?" the man asked suspiciously.
"Yes, that''s the one behind." Shi Zhonghua said quickly.
"Identification."
"Shi Zhonghua was stunned.
"Letter of introduction."
“……”
"I didn''t bring anything. What are you doing here?" said the doorman coldly, his words harder than the roaring north wind.
"I''m Shi Zhonghua, Secretary of Deng district governor. Here''s my ID card." Shi Zhonghua wanted to take out his wallet and show his ID card to the other party.
Just after opening his down jacket, the cold wind blew in like a small knife, and Shi Zhonghua shivered.
This winter is really cold!
"I see what use your ID card is," said the man coldly. "Go back and get it without a letter of introduction."
"I am..."
"Don''t do that." Deng Ming stumbled over in the back. When he heard what they were arguing about, he smiled bitterly and patted Shi Zhonghua on the shoulder.
"I''m Deng Ming, the district head of the new development zone." Deng Ming introduced himself with some embarrassment.
"Hello, district chief Deng." the man opposite said, but his body blocked the only entrance and exit. He didn''t mean to hide at all.
"I was in a hurry and forgot to bring a letter of introduction. I''m really sorry." Deng Ming explained.
He felt weak and explosive. How could he forget such a big thing.
There are many things these days. I haven''t slept well for several days. My brain is obviously not enough.
"Mr. Deng, I''m sorry. No one can enter the village without a letter of introduction."
Deng Ming sighed, but when he saw ice beads hanging on each other''s eyelashes, his heart was desolate and pathetic.
"We really can let the district call," Shi Zhonghua said.
"The documents in the district stipulate that you can''t call," the man insisted.
Deng Ming made a gesture and Shi Zhonghua was silent.
"How many people are there in Comrade Han Liren''s family?" Deng Ming asked standing in the wind and snow.
"He loves his wife and has an 8-year-old child, a girl."
"Then we won''t go in." Deng Ming didn''t insist. After all, he made a big mistake without a letter of introduction. "Here is my personal little care for Comrade Han Liren''s family."
Deng Ming said and took out an envelope containing 2000 yuan.
The man hesitated to pick it up.
"Thank you for your efforts. On behalf of the District, I would like to thank the grass-roots cadres headed by Han Liren." Deng Ming said, bowing deeply to the stranger.
"Mayor Deng, don''t..."
"Yes." Deng Ming sighed and said, "I''m also sorry about Comrade Han Liren. Please tell his wife if there is any need, and tell the organization that it will be solved as long as it can be solved. We can''t let the comrades on the front line shed blood and tears. Nobody cares."
“……”
"My personal opinion is that Comrade Han Liren died in the front line and should be rated as a martyr. There are some subsidies, but this is procedural. The difficulties at home... Think about it. Please tell the village head, submit a report, and I will hurry to implement it."
"Another thing is that children go to school..."
Deng Ming stood in the wind and snow and said what he thought and could do all the way. I don''t know why, tears flowed out, frozen into ice beads and fell on me.
In the cold wind, Deng Ming cried like a stray dog.
It''s very cold this year.
The wind this year is particularly strong.
